Have you ever had one of those moments during wedding planning when you want to just squeal and do the happy dance because you are so excited? Well, I often have those moments whenever I meet with our amazing florist, LaVonne from Adorations.

During this wedding experience, I’ve told you how important it is that I can trust our team that is helping us  make the day happen.

LaVonne is someone I want on our team. First of all, she is beyond creative and so talented with every detail she creates. Truly everything I have seen of hers is a masterpiece no matter what style, color, or event the pieces are for. Secondly, and probably more important to me, LaVonne is such a kind and beautiful person that I just want to spend more time with her. I have so much fun every time I see LaVonne and feel blessed to have gotten to know her during this time.

As I’ve mentioned before, flowers are not my strength. I can tell you what I think looks good, but am at a loss when it comes to names, seasons, colors, or knowing how to take flowers to their full potential. So when I asked Courtney (our DOC) for a recommendation for a florist, she suggested LaVonne and Adorations knowing me and my hopes for the day. From the moment I first started talking with LaVonne, she immediately understood and encouraged my desire to DIY lots of details and just got my vision. Beyond that, she helped to add to it to make it better.

I can’t wait to see all of the ideas and inspiration come to life. I know I won’t do the ideas justice if I try to explain them so you’ll just have to wait. But if you are really curious, here is a brief description from LaVonne about our arch: “Rich in color and rustic in materials; from the pedestal to the intertwining willow; reclaimed wood pedestals perfectly frame the altar area, old world style urns are placed upon each while trailing lobelia spills with bachelor buttons and rustic eryngium peeking through sinuous blooming curly willow. Clematis vine lightly intertwines the willow stems as they arc toward one another creating a seemingly natural arch.”

To go with all of the descriptions, LaVonne sent me a inspiration board with each flower type labeled and my color palette (that I created on ColourLovers) in the middle so I could see how all the flowers tie in. Perfect for my lack of flower knowledge.

I am beyond excited for everything that LaVonne is creating for our wedding. I trust her completely and know it will all be perfect. Want to see some of LaVonne’s latest work?

I fell in love with these pictures when I was at her studio and she was kind enough to let me share with you. But sshhh… it’s a preview of what is to come in an upcoming edition of Ceremony 2010 magazine.

Look at the incredible detail in this birch wood boutonniere.

And I just drooled over the beautiful texture and contrasts of this bouquet. Gorgeous!

What part of your planning can you not wait to see come to life?
